Ok, just gonna jump right into this.
I'm pretty new to FFXIV lore... Like, embarrassingly so. I've not really had any characters that had a truly developed backstory in this world and so I've started chipping away at my Miqo'te, A'ria.
My ideas for this character are similar to the NPC from the white Mage quest lines where I believe the name is Sylphie is drawing from her own Aether instead of the Aether from the world around her and it sapping her life from her. I wanted A'ria to have issues with conjuring from the elements and thus giving her a flaw that both explains her small size and her constant illness and weakness.Â
I've also made her a botanist mostly for the sake of her trying to find other outlets to heal people without actually having to conjure a spell because it will make her fall ill. She desperately wants to help those in need and she will do anything in order to do that.
That being said, are these ideas too out there or do they actually work?
It wasn't the White Mage quest, it was actually the Conjury quest.
Conjurers don't actually draw power from the Elementals. Â They are pulling from the lifeforce in the area around them (which is part of Succor). Â The Elementals are simply sitting on the magic and monitoring it. Â They do not, however, appear to give a shit whether or not random people are using conjury. Â They only care when someone attempts to step a bit further and access the rest of Succor (aka White Magic).
You can honestly do whatever you want with your character.
